Greetings and apologies for cross-posting,

The 2017 call for papers, 'Language, Form and Emotion', for The Dovetail Journal, a new peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary Creative Arts, Media and Literature journal from Bangor University, Wales, UK, is now open and accepting submissions until December 31st 2016. The 2017 issue is aimed at academic staff members who are responsible for teaching any of the following areas: film, music, games, new media, screenwriting, drama, prose, English literature, poetry, new writing, drama and performance, animation, and television etc., thank you. Submissions may consist of critical papers, creative practice submissions, or hybrid creative practice and critical combinations.

Postgraduates and postgraduate researchers are also welcome to submit papers and/ or creative practice work. See the call for papers in the poster and link below.

We are excited to announce that the 2017 issue will be co-curated by a cutting edge multi-disciplinary team of creative and critical practice PhD researchers from RMIT Australia and Bangor University, Wales.

Aesthetics, style considerations, genre conventions, animal and human relations, and human interactions with technology, are just some of the many possible areas of research that could pertain to Language, Form and Emotion. Please spread the word to other postgraduates, postgraduate alumni and academic staff as we would love to discover how form, emotion and language is understood, treated, or functions within your area of expertise and how this interlinks with either media, literature, creative art specialisms, or the performance based industries, thank you.

Alison Metoudi (General Editor)

The 2017 call for papers from The Dovetail Journal, Bangor University's Arts and Humanities cross­ disciplinary critical and creative practice, peer-reviewed journal, is now open to submissions on the topic of Language, Form and Emotion. Submissions are welcome in particular from holders of a PhD, academic staff members, and post-doctoral researchers . Current and previous post-graduates may also submit material. All submissions undergo a blind peer-review process.

What is known as language can differ between region and country, and where language is defined, even this can change over place and time. The distinctive Cyrillic script, Chinese characters, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and even Welsh systems of language differ in form, as do other variations and systems such as Braille, Sign Language and vocal forms without written records. Language in the wider sense can therefore be understood to refer to any system of verbal,visual, audio, or written communication. Each area within the Arts has its own language and forms of expression. In general, the language of the visual arts is aesthetic, pertaining to pattern, shape, line, colour and perspective . The language of music is emotive and expressed through timbre, rhythm, and pitch. The language of film grammar is that of the edit, the frame, duration, patterns of light, and camera movement. The language of dance is delineated through choreography and the expressivity of the body. A consideration of language across the Arts, is to contemplate different methods of expression, forms, structures and their meaning. An examination of language and emotion entails closer appraisal of more stylised methods of expression and language, such as questions of representation, genre and form; the specificity of social, conceptual or historical contexts within the narrative; and the subjectivity of experience or emotional perspectives that combine to create contingent meaning.

Creative practice submissions are welcome across the Arts such as video games, films, animations, music, visual art, photography,fine art, graphic novels, drama, theatre, television and/ or screenwriting, prose, poetry, and literature. Critical practice submissions are welcome in all of the previously mentioned categories. Hybrid submissions that combine creative and critical practice in one area are welcome. Submissions are welcome on any subject within the specified areas of literature, creative arts and/ or media, where the theme of 'Language, Emotion and Form' pertains to either creative, critical or else hybrid combinations of research and developments in:

New writing, New Media, Fact and Fiction, Experimental Forms, Narrative, Adaptation, Performance, Culture and Aesthetics, and Gender and Politics.

Generally, written submissions should be no longer than six thousand words and must adhere to the MHRA style guide.
